The 3-year-old has ZTTK Syndrome and uses a walker, wheelchair, and a communication device. The 5-year-old boy is working on regulating his emotions. He has support from his teachers and therapists. He is a bright, curious, and creative child who will do well with a Nanny who is patient and consistent.
Duties include: pick up children from school and take them to/from therapy appointments, imaginative play, play outdoors, go for walks, occasionally go to parks/playgrounds and the library, clean up after children/any messes that were made during the day, and prepare meals for the oldest and G-tube feeding for the youngest (mom will train Nanny on how to do this).
